New location strengthens commitment to High Country real estate, development, and client service
BLOWING ROCK, N.C. — Foscoe Realty & Development has announced the opening of a new office in downtown Blowing Rock, marking a significant expansion of the company’s general real estate services and continued investment in the High Country market.
Located at 277 Sunset Drive, Blowing Rock, NC 28605, the new office will serve as a hub for residential real estate sales, development opportunities, and new construction projects throughout Blowing Rock and the surrounding region. The expansion complements Foscoe Realty’s long-standing presence across the High Country while creating new opportunities to serve buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners in one of North Carolina’s most sought-after mountain destinations.
The new location will be led by a highly experienced team. Rob Garrett, a longtime High Country real estate professional, and Trey Boggs, the High Country Association of Realtors’ #1 broker in 2025, bring combined market knowledge and a proven track record that provide a strong foundation for continued growth.
“This expansion reflects our confidence in the future of the High Country and our commitment to serving clients at every stage of the real estate journey,” said Jay Harrill, CEO of Foscoe Companies. “Blowing Rock has always been an important market for our company, and this new office allows us to better support both traditional real estate transactions and the growing demand for new development opportunities throughout the area.”
While the new Blowing Rock office expands the company’s regional footprint, Foscoe Realty will continue to operate its established sales office at Echota. There, the team serves as the only onsite real estate firm and the dedicated sales team for new construction at Echota, providing personalized service to buyers and sellers at Echota and throughout the High Country.
Additionally, this spring marked an exciting milestone as Foscoe Realty & Development was selected to serve as the preferred real estate team at Hound Ears Club. For us, this opportunity represents much more than managing sales, it’s a chance to bring enhanced marketing, technology, communication, and buyer outreach to one of the High Country’s most established and respected communities. We’re honored by the trust Hound Ears has placed in our team and look forward to supporting both current homeowners and future residents.
The expansion also coincides with the launch of a new Foscoe Realty website, designed to provide enhanced property search capabilities, market insights, and information about the company’s growing portfolio of real estate and development services.
For Garrett, the new office represents the next chapter in a career built on relationships and local expertise.
Prior to joining Foscoe Realty and Development, Garrett spent more than a decade building one of the area’s most respected luxury real estate teams alongside longtime business partner Gwen Steele.
“Rob Garrett and I were a highly successful team for 12 years, building a strong reputation and trusted presence in the local luxury real estate market,” said Steele. “After my retirement, it was exciting to see Rob continue growing professionally and align with Foscoe Realty and Development Company. His partnership with Trey Boggs creates tremendous opportunities for expanded marketing reach and development throughout the region.“
Steele also played a role in helping establish the new office location.
“As Rob’s business evolved, I suggested that his new office be located at my property on Sunset Drive,” Steele said. “The location offers excellent visibility and accessibility while supporting the continued growth of his team and Foscoe’s broader vision. It feels like a natural evolution of a partnership that began many years ago.”
The Blowing Rock office further strengthens Foscoe Realty & Development’s ability to deliver what the company calls The Foscoe Advantage—a fully integrated approach that combines real estate, development, construction, design, renovations, rentals, and property services through a family of specialized companies.
Founded in 1988, Foscoe Realty & Development has become one of the High Country’s most recognized real estate and development organizations. The company is known for its role in developing premier mountain communities, including Echota and The Bluffs at Blowing Rock, while maintaining a focus on thoughtful growth, exceptional client service, and long-term value.
